TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Trouble’s at Trump’s Truth Social: For the fifth straight month, visits to the Trump-controlled Truth Social dropped, according to TheRighting’s latest exclusive research. Despite Trump’s increasingly frenetic use of Truth Social as a weapon to bludgeon his opponents, distort the truth, and promote his far-right political allies, audiences are not taking the bait. It looks to me like a rejection of Trumpism which is another sign of likely midterm calamity for the Republicans...Rubio’s Greek (Word) Salad: The Secretary of State looks especially foolish for his remarks last week essentially defending U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle.  While in Greece on a tour of Europe just as the mud was hitting the fan from the Journal’s scoop about the embattled Ambassador which led to her ouster this week, Rubio told reporters before boarding his plane leaving Greece, “You guys walk around thinking that because some source told you something and you reported it, it’s the gospel. It’s not the gospel.”  Memo to Marco: It was the gospel. (Associated Press)...Zero hour for Zacharia? It’s early in the first week for the besieged new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia and the wolves have already begun circling. Her biggest sin appears to be her claim that she’s a practicing lawyer. (She graduated law school but mainstream media sleuths have not found evidence of her passing the bar exam, which is essential to practice law in this country.) In her LinkedIn profile, she lists her role at the company California Fix as General Counsel. The president is presenting Zacharia as a lawyer. This is not some inconsequential detail. If Zacharia can’t keep the facts straight about something as simple as her professional history, how is she going to articulate the position of the United States and the president on complex issues of significant domestic and global importance?...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.

One thing that Democrats are united in is their disdain for President Donald Trump.

Trump’s New Press Secretary Katie Zacharia Gets the Full Media Treatment
